Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The ability to view the entire project stack, including the camera, features, and routers, which I believe are the most important or relevant components."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and a single-pane-of-glass that allows us to identify issues across the entire network from one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity in navigating through the dashboard. It's well set out, and the layout is nice and user friendly. A lot of clients enjoy seeing layer 7 visibility. They get a good indication and insight into what is happening in their network and what applications are being used the most. They can then customize and give preference to business-critical applications."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"Meraki Dashboard does not require a lot of maintenance. Cisco tells communicates through the Meraki Dashboard web client, it will automatically send updates to the equipment. They will send you an email on what day the updates will take place. If you want to proceed, you can click on accept, or you can decline them and schedule the updates at another time."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The power flow is great."
"It is simple."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Power packs."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface."
"We would like to be able to test the health of WAN connections."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to create a floor plan based on an existing PDF or JPEG, which is automatically converted into a usable network map."
"I am concerned about the fact that once your licensing expires the devices stop working and become a brick."
"What we would like from the IT perspective is a lot more granular control, more visibility into the packets, into the routing, and things of that nature."
"The tool needs to incorporate more integration platforms. Integrating technical support features directly into the dashboard would be highly beneficial. This would allow technicians to troubleshoot issues more efficiently."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms."
"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives."
"They need a little more self-service."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
